Two in-form teams, Canterbury Magicians and Wellington Blaze, will battle it out in the 17th match of the Women’s Super Smash at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The two teams occupy the top two positions in the Super Smash points table
Canterbury Magicians have been in solid form during the Super Smash, winning three of their five games, while one was washed out. Their only loss in the Super Smash came against Auckland.
The Magicians have accumulated 14 points and are currently second in the Super Smash points table. A win in this game will help them get past Wellington and move top of the heap..
On the other hand, Wellington Blaze have been in absolutely smashing form in the Super Smash. Barring the game against Northern Spirit, which they lost off the final ball, they have brushed aside every other opponent in the tournament. Thus, it may not be wrong to say that the Blaze start this Super Smash game as the favourites.
Canterbury Magicians are marginally ahead in their head-to-head record against Wellington Blaze, winning 10 of 19 games between the pair.
